1972 Advertisement - Pyrex Compatibles

From the November 1972 issue of Family Circle magazine, this magazine ad announces the launch of the Pyrex Compatibles product line.  Spring Blossom Green is featured prominently and Snowflake Blue and Butterfly Gold are mentioned in the text.  Corelle had been available nation-wide since late 1970, and this page implies that these Pyrex items were designed afterwards to co-ordinate with the dinnerware.  Further clarifying the situation is the fact that these patterns are absent from 1970 and 1971 Pyrex Ware catalogues.

The 1916 and 1971 dates in the text below seem misleading.  The original Pyrex bakeware was definitely introduced in 1915, and without a doubt Corelle was launched in 1970.
